Is this... is this a serious question that's seriously being asked in a serious manner?

If climate change truly gets as bad as some predict, the US will lose a lot of farmland and sources of freshwater, while Canada will still be thinly-populated, abundant with resources, and an improving climate.

If climate change truly gets as bad as some predict, why on earth wouldn't the US apply pressure to force Canada into a union with the US and then annexation? It would be within our vital national security and economic interests.

Because it's a stupid, self-centered proposition to act as if we're just entitled to go about annexing our closest ally who also happens to be the world's second largest country; because it'll never legitimately get as far as annexation (maybe a union, but not outright annexation); & because we're neither as hegemonic as we like to think we are or as the world likes to claim we are?

No, but China might (depending on whether they’re satisfied with Siberia, Australia, and New Zealand).

No.
